It's been an eventful last few weeks for "Sound of The Surf." Background work continues with attorneys working on legal concerns. However, the movie, itself, has undergone some minor polishing to prepare a very good rough cut for submission to film festivals. If I had waited until the movie was completely finished, I would have missed a number of important festival deadlines. I didn't want to wait until 2023 because the movie will be available long before then, and most festivals have rules about no public screening or commercial availability before festival entry. So, now was the time for this. In most cases, accepted films are announced sometime in September through November, with festival events/screenings between this fall and next winter.

New background music cues are being recorded this week. I fully expect "Sound of The Surf" to be DVD ready in the September-October time frame. Most importantly, I've had Tom Duncan's vision for this film in mind every step of the way since his passing last year, so I hope he'd be proud of where we are and where we WILL BE in a few weeks.

"Sound of The Surf" has been accepted for the upcoming Accolade Global Film Competition later this month. What is hoped to be the first of many. This festival does not have any public screenings, however; only judges see the film. Still, this event promotes award winners through press releases to over 100,000 filmmakers and industry contacts through FilmFestivals.com. Please note that "Sound of The Surf" is not quite finished. What is being submitted for consideration is a near-final "festival edit." And, so, with a gentle push....away we go.

Happy to announce that "Sound of The Surf" has been accepted for this year's Newport Beach Film Festival!! This will be the film's first public screening, AND in the city where the music and the scene truly began in 1961. Screening time in October will be announced in about four weeks and I hope all of the local SoCal fans will help make this an SRO event.

That is RAD! There have been times that I thought I might never see this thing. I know now that we are all closer to seeing it than not. Thanks so much John Blair for seeing this through!!
